Athletistic/Tennis. The head of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev answered the question whether it was already possible to call Daniil Medvedev the best tennis player in the history of Russia.

“Despite the fact that Daniil will surpass Safin’s achievement in number of weeks on the front row of the world rankings, it is too early to call Medvedev the best tennis player in the history of the country. For example, Kafelnikov has more titles – and Slams, and there is gold in the Games, and another 27 doubles. So Daniil has something to do, “says Tarpishchev.

Safin and Kafelnikov have two Grand Slams, Medvedev has one.
